An init.d script is approximately 5 to 10 times as complicated as a systemd unit.

This is not correct. Debian's systemd will use init.d scripts in compatibility mode. However, writing a brand new init.d script in 2019 is just pointless masochism, unless you're distributing a product that has to run on a variety of init-systems.
